.Hey all I was wondering. I have a friend that is doing BFL with me and he does tree work and its a very physical job. He is a big guy about 6'3" weighs about 235lbs he is pretty trim but trying to lean out and build more muscle. Question is, sometimes just doing portion sizes he is very hungry in two hours. Should he up his intake abit ?
His typical day is wake up 5am and work out, 7am 5 egg whites and an apple, 9am yogurt and cottage cheese, 12pm Lean ham or turkey sandwich he adds a little extra meat because he is usually really hungry for this meal, 2pm Myoplex ready made shake 25g protein 23g carb. 5pm dinner , 8pm cottage cheese and yogurt or a protein smoothie.
Any help would be great
cd21-he is probably burning it off faster doing the heavy "lumberjack" work!
A general rule of thumb is to consume 1g of protein per # of body wt.(this might be per lean body wt , but I'm going with the 1 cause I saw it on here once).
Anyways if he is 235# he should be consuming roughly 35g of protein per meal.
The 5 egg whites only has 17.5g! No wonder he's starving!
Tell him to start watching/reading labels to get a better feel on how much protein he is consuming. Hope this helps! :)
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
I am wondering if you know what times is he hungry at? Is all day? I would switch my cottage cheese meal in the morning and just leave it for night time. 9am cottage cheese and a yogurt are two things that are good for night because they are not heavy on your stomach but during the day, if you are a lumberjack that will get used in 30 minutes or so.
Questions that might help?
How many ounces of cottage cheese does he take?
How many ounces or # of turkey does he take for his 12pm meal?
He should probably pack some celery for when he is really hungry?
I recommend that if he's hungry in two hours he increase his portion size to get him back to the three hour mark. Also keep in mind that different types of carbs have better "staying power". In example brown rice and sweet potato will stay with him longer than say fruit.
He's also a big guy and from your stats below, he's not eating guy portions. I agree with the 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight divided by six. Get his meal portions up for now. If he's still at the two hour mark then you'll want to increase the protein portion just a little more.
If he doesn't get his food intake up, he's likely to slow down in losses. When the body doesn't get enough food it holds on to excess fat, then he's got a double whammy, always hungry and no losses.

Individual Health Care Insurance Mandate Debate
November 3, 2009
Questions and Answers:
There is no constitutional problem with Congress requiring that individuals purchase health care or pay a penalty. There is much to debate over health care reform and how to achieve it, but I have no doubt that the proposals would be constitutional.
The constitutional objection that I have heard most often is that Congress lacks the authority under Article I of the Constitution to do this. But such a mandate clearly falls within the scope of Congress's authority to regulate commerce among the states.
Over many cases, the Supreme Court has held that Congress can regulate economic activities that taken cumulatively across the country have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. Purchasing health insurance is an economic transaction. Taken cumulatively those who do this, or who don't do it, have a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
In 2007, healthcare expenditures amounted to $2.2 trillion, or $7,421 a person, and accounted for 16.2% of the gross domestic product. These statistics leave no doubt that regulating health insurance is regulating interstate commerce.
Those who argue that this is unconstitutional maintain that those not purchasing health insurance, by definition, are not part of interstate commerce. There are numerous flaws with this argument. First, Congress can regulate activities that themselves are not part of interstate commerce if they have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. For example, in Wickard v. Filburn, the Supreme Court held that Congress could regulate wheat that farmers grew for their own home consumption. More recently in Gonzales v. Raich, the Court ruled that Congress could prohibit cultivating and possessing small amounts of marijuana for personal medicinal use. Even though the individuals were not personally engaged in commerce, the matter still fit within the commerce power.
Second, not engaging in economic transactions is a form of commercial behavior that Congress can regulate. The Supreme Court held that Congress could require that hotels and restaurants provide services to African-Americans. Their refusal to engage in commerce still was deemed to be within the scope of Congress's commerce clause power.
Third, the likelihood is that everyone will require medical care at some point. An uninsured person in an automobile accident will be taken to the emergency room for treatment. An uninsured person with a communicable disease will be treated. Congress can ensure that there is an adequate fund to pay for everyone's medical needs.
In other words, the health care system is part of interstate commerce. Providing care for all unquestionably has a substantial economic effect. Congress, then, can use its authority under the necessary and proper clause to make sure that the system that it is creating is viable and capable of providing health care for all.
Nor is there any individual right violated by a mandate for purchasing health care. There is no constitutionally protected freedom to be able to refuse to be insured or to avoid paying for the benefits provided.
There are many close constitutional questions. But this is not among them. Congress clearly has the legal authority to require individuals to have health insurance.
There is no doubt that Congress can regulate an entire array of economic activities, large and small, inter- and intra-state. Thus, for example, there is no problem, Constitution-wise with having Congress regulate health care insurance purchase transactions. The problem with an individual insurance purchase mandate, however, is that it does not regulate any transactions at all. It regulates human beings, simply because they exist, and orders them to engage in certain types of economic transactions.
The cases cited by Professor Chemerinsky – Wickard v. Filburn and Gonzales v. Raich – do not support his position. In both of these cases, Congress sought to regulate individuals engaged in traditional agricultural/economic activities, growing wheat and marijuana. The fact that they did so for personal consumption did not detract from the underlying economic nature of these activities, especially since Congress sought to regulate them as a part of a comprehensive inter-state regulatory scheme.
It is also true that a refusal to serve a particular customer, the conduct in issue in the Heart of Atlanta Motel case, is a form of an economic behavior, fully reachable under the Commerce Clause. However, what Professor Chemerinsky conveniently overlooks is that this form of conduct – refusal to serve – took place in the context of an operating commercial establishment. It is this fact and this fact alone that made the refusal to serve an economic transaction. If Professor Chemerinsky feels otherwise, he would have to accept the notion that Congress can, under the Commerce Clause, regulate the entirely private, non-commercial behavior of an individual who chooses whom to invite for dinner to his house, and who discriminates against some of his neighbors.
Professor Chemerinsky also overlooks the existence of two major cases – United States v. Lopez and United States v. Morrison – in which the Supreme Court, in 5 to 4 decisions, has specifically rejected the notion that Congress can regulate non-commercial behavior merely because, arguably, such behavior can have an impact on Commerce. The Court's overarching reason for doing so was its compellingly articulated belief that the Commerce Clause is a limited grant of power and one that cannot be infinitely capacious. This reasoning is unassailable.
Indeed, the vertical separation of powers, under which the federal government possesses limited and enumerated powers, while the States wield general police powers, is the key part of our constitutional architecture. Far from being an 18th century affectation, these structural limitations on government powers were designed to protect individual liberty. In the Framers' view, these structural limitations on the ability of the federal government to exercise authority were the primary ways of ensuring that no single government entity would grow too powerful. They were viewed by the Framers as the most important way of protecting liberty, far more important than even the provisions of the Bill of Rights.
Professor Chemerinsky's vision of a Commerce Clause on steroids would fundamentally warp our constitutional architecture. Because every single decision by individual Americans, be it buying health insurance, cars, health club memberships or any other good or service, has some impact on the economy, it could be subject to regulation by Congress. Indeed, Congress would be able to compel how individuals would dispose of every penny of whatever monies they have left after paying taxes, transforming Americans into virtual serfs. Meanwhile, because, under the Supremacy Clause, any constitutional federal legislation trumps exercises of state power, an infinitely capacious Commerce Clause would rob States of any remaining authority. This point was ably articulated by Justice Kennedy in his concurring opinion in Lopez. Accordingly, there is a great deal at stake here. No matter how important the cause of health care reform might be, it is not consequential enough to destroy the very sinews of our constitutional system.
It is firmly established that Congress may regulate economic activities that have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. Purchasing insurance, by definition, is economic activity. Congress mandating that individuals have insurance is obviously regulating economic activity. There is no denial that this has a substantial effect on interstate commerce. Once this is established, and I cannot imagine how it can be disputed, then Congress can enforce this under the necessary and proper clause by penalizing those who violate the mandate. Under current and long-standing constitutional doctrines it is not a close question that this is within the scope of Congress's commerce clause power.
Mr. Rivkin says that if Congress can do this, there will be no limit to Congress's power. He says that this is the commerce clause "on steroids" and that Congress will be able to regulate everything, even who people have over to their homes for dinner. He says that the system of dual federalism will be at an end. Such hyperbole and apocalyptic predictions are familiar in this area. In 1918, in Hammer v. Dagenhart, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a federal law that prohibited the shipment in interstate commerce of goods made by child labor. The Court concluded its opinion by declaring: "[I]f Congress can thus regulate matters entrusted to local authority by prohibition of the movement of commodities in interstate commerce, all freedom of commerce will be at an end, and the power of the states over local matters may be eliminated, and thus our system of government practically destroyed." For more than 70 years Congress has prohibited child labor and none of these dire predictions came true. Nor would allowing Congress to mandate the purchase of health insurance mean that Congress could regulate who people invite to their homes for dinner or end our system of federalism.
As a matter of constitutional law, there are two relevant questions in assessing whether Congress's mandate of health insurance fits within the scope of its commerce power. First, is Congress regulating economic activity? Certainly, compelling the purchase of health insurance is regulating economic activity in its most obvious sense. Mr. Rivkin points to United States v. Lopez and United States v. Morrison to support his position. But neither involved economic transactions. Lopez concerned the federal Gun Free School Zone Act which made it a crime to have a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school. Morrison involved the Violence Against Women Act, which created a civil cause of action for money damages for victims of gender-motivated violence. Neither involved economic activity. But purchasing or not purchasing insurance is an economic transaction.
Nor is Mr. Rivkin's distinction of Wickard v. Filburn and Gonzales v. Raich persuasive. In these cases, the Supreme Court held that Congress could regulate the amount of wheat that farmers grew for home consumption and prohibit the cultivation or possession of marijuana for personal medicinal use. Mr. Rivkin says that these cases involved economic activity. But in making that argument Mr. Rivkin makes a crucial conception: a person can be involved in economic activity even if there is no economic transaction or commercial activity. In Wickard, it was a farmer growing wheat for his family to eat. In Raich, it was a person growing marijuana for personal medicinal use. If this is economic activity, then certainly the purchase of health insurance (or a refusal to do so) is economic activity.
The second question is whether the activity has a substantial effect on interstate commerce. This, of course, Mr. Rivkin does not question because it cannot be denied that the purchase of insurance has an enormous effect on interstate commerce. Likewise, taken cumulatively those who refuse to purchase insurance also have a significant impact on interstate commerce. If the wheat that a farmer grows for his family to eat or the marijuana that a person grows for home consumption have this effect, there can be no dispute that a national mandate to purchase health insurance meets this requirement.
There are many valid and important issues to debate concerning how to implement health care reform. But constitutionality is not among them. Congress clearly has the power to use its power to regulate commerce among the states to mandate the purchase of health insurance.
There is no question that purchasing insurance is an economic activity which Congress can regulate. To be sure, even so, the regulation can be properly imposed only on the commercial entities that are in the business of selling insurance, i.e., insurance companies. The government can regulate what insurance products they sell, what prices they can charge, what disclosures they make to the purchasers and all other aspects of their activities. Directly regulating the purchasing public is a much dicier proposition, from a constitutional perspective. When Congress wanted to ban purchases of liquor, it needed a constitutional amendment to do so. When Congress regulates gun sales, the onus of the regulations fall on gun sellers and not on gun buyers.
However, there is an even more fundamental problem with Professor Chemerinsky's analysis. What lies at the heart of my disagreement with him is his view that a decision by a private individual not purchase insurance is also a form of economic activity. Let's stipulate here that any purchasing decision by a consumer in a market economy has some economic impact. But to call a decision not to purchase, when undertaken by a private person not engaged in a commercial activity, an economic transaction is a fundamental misnomer. In this regard, under Professor Chemerinsky's definition of economic activity, every aspect of consumer behavior, or, for that matter, any aspect of individual behavior, would become an economic activity.
It is worth reflecting that, under the same kind of logic, the Lopez and Morrison cases were wrongly decided. Both involved activities by individuals – carrying guns and engaging in gender-motivated violence – that quite logically and plausibly could be expected to have, in the aggregate, an adverse impact on the economy. (Indeed, the government cobbled together such an argument to defend the underlying laws.) I fail to understand the distinction between the decision not to purchase insurance – which, according to Professor Chemerinsky, in the aggregate, will have an adverse impact on the economy – and a decision to carry guns near school which, in the aggregate, will also have an impact on the economy. Under Professor Chemerinsky's logic, both of these decisions amount to an economic activity, subject to regulations under the Commerce Clause.
By contrast, the Lopez and Morrison cases are perfectly reconcilable with the Wickard and Gonzales cases. This is because growing agricultural products or plants, whether for resale or personal consumption, is inherently an economic activity. Choosing not to go to a movie, or not buy a car, or not buy insurance, is not an economic activity.
But, let's try to get beyond the verbal gymnastics. Professor Chemerinsky is not impressed by my argument about the constitutional consequences of adopting his vision of the Commerce Clause, calling it hyperbolic and apocalyptic. This is not, unfortunately, a credible rejoinder.
The importance of having a limiting principle associated with the use of the Commerce Clause isn't something that only I care about; this was precisely the concern expressed by the five Justices of the United States Supreme Court in Lopez and Morrison. Are they also being hyperbolic and apocalyptic? Even more fundamentally, I would respectfully urge Professor Chemerinsky to give serious consideration to answering my question – how does his vision of an infinitely capacious Commerce Clause, endowing Congress with the authority to regulate every single purchasing and life style decision of all Americans reconcile with the notion of the federal government being a government of limited and enumerated powers? Professor Chemerinsky appears comfortable with Congress exercising its power under the Commerce Clause unencumbered by any limiting principle. The upshot of this argument has Congress saying, "you can trust us not to go too far." That is distinctly not the structure of the Constitution, and the prospects of such a limitless exercise of power would likely have led states to reject its ratification. Indeed, I can imagine no constitutional law scholar who would not recoil from this expansive view of power in any other context, especially those involving individual liberties.
Mr. Rivkin and I agree that under well-established law that Congress can regulate economic activity that has a substantial effect on interstate commerce. He also appears to agree that under this power Congress can mandate that individuals purchase health insurance. Buying health insurance, by definition, is commercial activity. Taken cumulatively across the country, there is quite obviously a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
The only apparent area of disagreement is whether Congress can impose some penalty on those who do not purchase health insurance. Mr. Rivkin says that they are not engaging in commerce so Congress cannot regulate them. First, if Congress can require the purchase of health insurance as an exercise of the commerce power, then surely under "the necessary and proper clause" it can enforce that mandate by punishing those who refuse to do so. Long ago in McCulloch v. Maryland, the Supreme Court held that the necessary and proper clause authorizes Congress to adopt any means to carry out its powers. Punishing those not purchasing health insurance is the means to enforcing the constitutional requirement for purchasing insurance.
Second and independently, the choice whether to purchase or not purchase health insurance is an economic decision and constitutes economic activity. If I decide to buy or not buy something, that is economic activity. Those not purchasing health insurance have a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
As I mentioned earlier, the Court allowed Congress, under its commerce power, to require that hotels and restaurants serve racial minorities. It was no defense for the hotels and restaurants to say that they were not engaging in commerce. Mr. Rivkin says that it is different because hotels and restaurants were commercial enterprises. That misses the point: the refusal to engage in an economic transaction is deemed economic. Even growing crops for personal use is economic despite the lack of any transaction.
Mr. Rivkin again resorts to hyperbole and says that my view of the commerce clause would give unlimited powers to Congress. That's simply wrong: all I am defending is that Congress under the commerce clause can require an economic transaction and enforce that requirement as appropriate. This gives Congress no power to regulate outside of the area of economic transactions. It does not call into question the Supreme Court's decisions in Lopez and Morrison which had nothing to do with economic transactions.
Given the size of the health care industry and the enormous resources being spent, it is inconceivable to me that a court would find that regulation is beyond the scope of Congress's commerce clause power. It is not a close question: Congress is regulating commerce among the states when it mandates that individuals purchase health insurance.
It appears that Professor Chemerinsky and I are no closer to an agreement at the end of this exchange than at the beginning. Unfortunately, it also seems that Professor Chemerinsky has misconstrued what I said in my previous post. I agree that purchasing health insurance or any other good or service is an economic activity, which Congress can regulate under the Commerce Clause. My previous post also makes it abundantly clear that a decision not to purchase insurance or not to acquire any other good or service is not an economic activity at all and, as such, is not subject to regulation under the Commerce Clause.
With this misunderstanding clarified, let me try to elaborate what is wrong with Professor Chemerinsky's underlying position, namely that "the choice whether to purchase or not purchase health insurance is an economic decision and constitutes economic activity." For starters, as I had previously mentioned, in a market economy, every decision by human beings has some economic impact. This is certainly true of decisions to buy goods and services, acquire an education or forego doing so, travel and lead an active life, or become a couch potato, who rarely leaves one's own dwelling.
Indeed, all these decisions, whether to proceed with something or forego proceeding with something, have a range of economic impacts. The most obvious one is that every purchasing decision stimulates the economy. The decisions not to purchase fail to stimulate the economy, while various life style choices, e.g., eating fatty foods, drinking to excess, not exercising, allowing oneself to be stressed – as is often the case with lawyers, may well impose some projected negative impacts on the economy and society. One can say that all human beings, while they are alive, constantly impose some positive and negative impacts on the economy and society; such is the essence of life. And, according to Professor Chemerinsky, anybody who makes any decision, or exercises any choice even on the most personal and intimate matter, relating, for example, to personal life or procreation, is engaged in an economic transaction.
Just to demonstrate how all-encompassing Professor Chemerinsky's definition of an economic activity really is, let's reflect on the fact that a decision not to marry or not to have children makes it considerably more likely that the individuals making such decisions will be unable to draw on family support in their declining years and, hence, quite likely to become burdens on our medical system and other forms of social/societal support networks. In fact, I frankly cannot think of anything that a human being can do that would not, under Professor Chemerinsky's logic, be an economic activity, especially when individual impacts are aggregated, as courts looking at Commerce Clause cases have done.
In this regard, since the conduct at issue in Lopez and Morrison was projected to have adverse consequences for the economy – and, by the way, these projections were not particularly fanciful – it, under Professor Chemerinsky's own definition of an economic activity, was an economic transaction, subject to regulation under the Commerce Clause. This, by the way, is precisely what the Department of Justice lawyers argued in these cases and this is precisely the position rejected by the Supreme Court.
Professor Chemerinsky's three rounds of posts make much mention of the size of the health care industry and the resources that we, as a society, spend on health care. But, this is not a constitutionally-meaningful factor. As Professor Chemerinsky well knows, and case law makes abundantly clear, if something is in principle within the scope of congressional authority to regulate under the Commerce Clause, the particulars of such a regulation are reviewed by the courts under the rational basis test. To state the obvious, this is not a very exacting basis for judicial review. And, in general, if a failure to join health clubs is an economic activity – as it will be under Professor Chemerinsky's definition of economic activity – then I would be the first one to admit that it would not be irrational for Congress to mandate health club membership. Indeed, it would be quite plausible for Congress to conclude that a vigorous physical exercise by all Americans would save hundreds of billions of dollars in medical costs and produce all sorts of other positive economic impacts.
This brings me back to the limiting factor issue and, what I suppose, would be my last bit of hyperbole in this debate. In a world where every human decision and activity amounts to an economic transaction, Congress' Commerce Clause power is indeed infinitely capacious. To say that Congress has "no power to regulate outside of the area of economic transactions", as Professor Chemerinsky does, isn't to say much if everything is an economic transaction. This would be an interesting world and one that the Framers of the Constitution would not recognize.
I would close by noting that Professor Chemerinsky strongly supports the Supreme Court's post-September 11 jurisprudence, which whatever one thinks of it – and I don't think much of it – evidences a profound conviction that granting the two political branches of the federal government power, above and beyond that to which they are constitutionally entitled, cannot be countenanced, no matter how compelling the imperatives of public safety might be. Why is it that the very same people who applaud Hamdan and Boumediene cases are not at all troubled by the prospect of Congress exercising an unlimited power to regulate every aspect of the lives of all Americans, restrained only by the provisions of the Bill of Rights?

FORTUNE – Just a few years ago, it would have taken a corporate empire to design, build, and market a hardware game-changer like Apple's (AAPL) iPhone. Today, there's far more hope -- and excitement -- surrounding the little guy, and for good reason.
Many people have noted a shift in the hardware landscape and the emergence of new, smaller companies. In his book Makers: The New Industrial Revolution, Chris Anderson writes extensively about the rise of the "Maker Movement." Paul Graham's recent essay "The Hardware Renaissance" mentions the recent uptick (7 out of the latest class of 84) in hardware startups at Y Combinator. In his blog, Erick Schonfeld wrote that "Hardware is the New Software," and that VCs are pursuing hardware startups more aggressively as well.
The developments in the hardware space are in part driven by the improving price and performance of technology. Industrial tools, such as 3-D printers, CNC routers, and laser cutters, which were previously only available to high-end design teams, are becoming consumer products. An entry level 3-D printer costs less than $1,000. The components for hardware products, such as motors, control devices, and Arduinos (tools to help computers interact with the physical world), are all increasingly powerful and affordable as well.
MORE: Apple: What it's like to drown in cash
On the software front, there are intuitive CAD programs available for modest prices or for free. There's even an app that uses a cellphone camera to capture 3-D images of objects so they can be 3-D printed.
New infrastructural elements have also helped new hardware products move from the hobbyist's basement to the startup garage. Before, to get a contract manufacturer's attention, you had to commit to producing high volumes (say 50,000 or more units). But a new class of factories -- mostly in China and Mexico -- will manufacture batches as small as 5,000 units. By filling low-volume orders, these factories have filled an important structural hole in the market: They allow entrepreneurs to launch new products for small consumer groups with little investment. And new funding platforms such as Kickstarter and online distribution channels (also amenable to selling products at low volumes) have decreased barriers to entry.
These developments have provided the right ingredients for the classic model of disruptive innovation: Start by providing a new product to a niche, underserved market and then scale to displace a larger competitor. They have also opened the door for new businesses that can be highly profitable without scaling. Individuals or small design teams can design niche products to cherry-pick profitable sections out of a market while avoiding the high overhead of storefronts and manufacturing.
But the advances in hardware haven't been driven by technology and infrastructure alone. The "maker movement" has been driven by a flourishing of talent. We've watched the emergence of what we call creation spaces: communities, networks, and cultures that encourage learning and improvement. We've observed this phenomenon in many fields, from the arts to professional gaming to extreme sports -- fields where people are striving to do things that have never been done before. Here are some of the common elements we've found among these creation spaces:
MORE: Bonuses are toxic at start-ups
As we've studied the creation spaces that have developed around the Maker Movement, we've been impressed by how naturally people learn new skills. In contrast, many of the executives we speak with list talent development and innovation as top priorities, but for all they push, progress remains a struggle. Part of the problem is that most businesses' institutional structures, hierarchies, and cultures actually limit the connecting, exploration, tinkering, and improvisation that make learning and innovation possible. Here are three questions that executives should ask themselves to improve their companies:

Jason Bruffy will leave his position as artistic director of Know Theatre of Cincinnati on Sept. 4 to lead the Salt Lake Acting Company (SLAC) in Utah.
He became Know's artistic leader in 2004 and oversaw the company's 2006 move from a church basement in Over-the-Rhine to a remodeled, two-story building on Jackson Street in another part of the neighborhood that has become a focal point for Cincinnati's performing arts scene. His departure coincides with that of Know founder, Jay Kalagayan, who announced earlier in the summer his intention to relinquish his responsibilities as the 11-year-old company's development director. Managing Director Eric Vosmeier will be Know's interim leader while a search is conducted for Know's next artistic director.
The Audience Pick, voted by theatergoers, went to Gravesongs (pictured), Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati's intern showcase, a piece by local playwright Sarah Underwood written for the five actresses who spent this season at ETC (Rachel Christianson, Emily Eaton, Lauren Shiveley, Rebecca Whatley and Elizabeth L. Worley). It was directed by another ETC intern, Elizabeth Maxwell. The script is about death from the perspective of women in their early twenties.
In case you haven't been paying attention, the Carnegie Center in Covington has been producing some ambitious theater and following a course that others haven't tried: It's called collaboration. Joshua Steele, the managing director of theater for the arts center in a one-time Carnegie Library, has amplified his results by working with other arts institutions in the region — especially, but not limited to, the fine theater programs at area universities. Steele will announce his 2012-2013 this week, and it's evident that he's continuing this commendable course working with Dayton's Human Race Theatre Company for the first time and building on a productive relationship with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra. He's also engaged some top-notch freelance talent to ensure that productions will be memorable.
Steele, who previously co-founded the meteoric New Stage Collective with his friend Alan Patrick Kenny, is bringing the remarkable director back to town for his first return since NSC closed in April 2010. Kenny, who has been earning an M.F.A. in California and staging theater on the West Coast, will direct the regional premiere of the musical Xanadu (Aug. 11-26, 2012). This campy, tongue-in-cheek show, based on the 1980 move that featured Olivia Newton-John, is right up Kenny's inventive alley, and should be a refreshing dash of onstage energy at summer's end. (Auditions for this show will take place on May 22, 7-10 p.m. at the Carnegie. Actors interested in auditioning should contact Adrianne Eby, email@example.com)
The Human Race collaboration will be next. The Dayton
company, which performs regularly at the Loft Theater in that city's downtown,
is premiering a new play by Michael Slade, Under a Red Moon, in late October.
The production will then move to the Carnegie for a three-weekend run (Nov.
2-18, 2012). Set in 1949, it's a taut psychological thriller telling the story
of John George Haigh, Britain's infamous "Acid Bath Killer."
For the third consecutive year, Steele has lined up a joint, in-concert presentation of a well known musical with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra. After successful outings with the CCO for Carousel and The King and I, the late January 2013 production will be Camelot, the story of chivalry and the love triangle of King Arthur, Queen Guenevere and the knight Sir Lancelot. The lush Lerner and Loewe score will be conducted by the CCO's music director Mischa Santora onstage with musicians from the orchestra.
Steele wraps up his four-production season with Jason Robert
Brown's powerful musical Parade (April 5-21, 2013), staged by
local director-choreographer team Ed Cohen and Dee Anne Bryll, who will be
joined by music director Steve Goers (currently appearing in the Carnegie's
production of Pump Boys & Dinettes).
Set in Atlanta in 1913, it's about the intolerance and misunderstanding
swirling around the trial of a Jewish factory manager accused of murdering a
young girl in his employ. Cohen and Bryll staged an excellent community theater
production of the show with Footlighters Inc. in 2007, winning that season's
outstanding community theater award. They also staged the Huck Finn musical Big River for the Carnegie with great
results in 2010.
It's a great line-up, and I suspect audiences will be lining up in Covington for these productions.
Lynn Meyers spends most of her time staging shows at Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati, where she's the producing artistic director. However, she headed a few blocks south from her Over-the-Rhine venue this month to direct Pride and Prejudice for Cincinnati Shakespeare Company at its Race Street venue.
Cincinnati finally got its first "pop-up shop," a holiday effort by local merchants to band together to take over unused retail space in Over-the-Rhine for a short period and then vacate when done. See photos from its opening weekend here.
'Tis also the season for pop-up theater, smaller productions that are squeezed in between performances of mainstage shows. One opens tonight at Know Theatre of Cincinnati.
The best choice, for my money, is Keith Glover's Thunder Knocking on the Door at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, a revival of sorts from 1999 — but thoroughly and creatively reimagined for the final mainstage production of Ed Stern's final season leading the Tony Award-winning theater. It's a musical about the Blues and it features an emotional Blues score, mostly by Keb' Mo', to tell the story of the power of love and music — and blues guitar players. It's presented with panache, including technology and design that are all about 2012. Through May 20. Box office: 513-421-3888.
If you loved the Doo-Wop silliness of The Marvelous Wonderettes, a hit from 2010 at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, then you're likely to have a good time at Life Could Be A Dream, Roger Bean's sequel to the story of some bubbly girls who bond around teen hits from the '50s and '60s. This time is boys, and that's most of the difference. As in the two Wonderette shows, Dream is shot through with adolescent angst, in this case around a local radio station contest that could "make them famous." It's an excuse for more than two dozen tunes from the same era that are shaped to the story. So it's a familiar formula, but ETC has a talented cast who make it a lot of fun. (Through May 20.) Box office: 513-421-3555.
Another show that totally mastered the art of wedging familiar tunes into an implausible story is Mamma Mia, and you can catch a touring production of that one at the Aronoff Center through Sunday. The cast of this tour has a lot of youthful energy and several mature characters who have fun reminiscing about their disco days. Box office: 800-982-2787.
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson will have its final performance on May 12. If you haven't yet seen this youthful mix of political commentary, driving Rock, history, humor and sober observations about the will of the people, you'd better go this weekend. (The longer you wait the less likely you are to get a ticket — the final weekend is selling fast.) Not many musicals begin with the cast flipping the bird at the audience, but then not many musicals are like this one, spinning a tale of America's seventh president to in-your-face Indie Rock tunes. This is Bloody Bloody's first professional regional production. I gave it a Critic's Pick. Box office: 513-300-5669.
You have plenty of time to see The Second City 2: Less Pride – More Pork, since the Cincinnati Playhouse plans to keep it on the Shelterhouse Stage until July 1 (at least), but I predict you'll enjoy it whenever you go. It's a notch up from the first iteration of the show that set box-office records for the Mount Adams theater a year-and-a-half ago. Lots of hilarious fun-poking at … us. And the clever cast uniquely tailors every performance to the audience that shows up. Box office: 513-421-3888.
Know Theatre's production of the recent off-Broadway and Broadway Rock musical hit, I was thoroughly entertained by Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last week at the Covedale. It has a cast of strong singers who do a fine job with the amusing score, stuffed with musical parodies — Calypso, Blues, County, Bubblegum Pop and more — and they're having an infectious good time. Keep an eye out for the Pharaoh; he's really the King! Through May 13. Box office: 513-241-6550.
Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.
Andrew Bovell's Speaking in Tongues is a complicated noir-ish tale of marital deceit and cryptic crime that unfolds more clearly because of its accomplished four-actor cast, including local professionals Bruce Cromer (who's played roles as varied as Ebenezer Scrooge for the Playhouse to King Lear for Cincinnati Shakespeare) and Amy Warner (a regular at Ensemble Theatre and Cincinnati Shakespeare). The show is a fascinating piece of theater that takes work to watch, follow and absorb. I suppose that some casual theatergoers will be put off by it, but if you like challenging drama and multi-layered acting, you'll leave the theater with your gears spinning. I gave Speaking in Tongues a Critic's Pick in this week's "Curtain Call" column. Onstage through March 4. Box office: 513-421-3888.
If you're a fan of the Cincinnati Fringe, you should check out the Transmigration Festival at CCM on the University of Cincinnati campus. I was there last evening and saw three of the six performances, especially enjoying Booth, an interactive piece by nine actors based on John Wilkes Booth's final days. I also was entertained by The Eddie Shanahan Show, closely inspired by Dickens' A Christmas Carol, but with some very modern twists. Attendees choose between six brief productions (30 minutes or less) that are completely created, promoted, enacted and staged by drama students. It's a February boost of creativity, staged throughout the CCM facility, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30, as well as a 2:30 matinee on Saturday. Admission is free, but you need to call the CCM box office to reserve your ticket: 513-556-4183.
Another university option can be found at NKU. It's Aaron Sorkin's The Farnsworth Invention, telling the story of Phil Farnsworth who invented television but spent much of his life in legal wrangles with David Sarnoff, RCA executive and the first "media mogul." Sorkin's credits — from The West Wing to The Social Network — are a guarantee of a heady, exciting tale based on real events. Tickets ($14 is the maximum price): 859-572-5464.
Know Theater's "comedy of anxiety" by Allison Moore, Collapse, opens with the collapse of a highway bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. But it's about all kinds of things falling down — the economy, relationships. This is the kind of edgy script Know Theatre is known for, funny but meaningful. I gave the production a Critic's Pick because it combines heart and humor. Collapse is presented with comic finesse and fine acting, especially by local professional actress Annie Fitzpatrick. Know's best work of the season. Through March 3. Tickets: 513-300-5669.
This weekend is your last chance to see the regional premiere of Matthew Lopez's The Whipping Man at Ensemble Theatre (through Saturday evening). The historical play, set in Richmond, Va., in April 1865, just days after the end of the Civil War, is a gripping drama that's beautifully staged and convincingly acted. I gave it a Critic's Pick. The production has been extended a week because of demand for tickets; you won't be contending with subscribers this weekend, so if you haven't seen it yet — call for a ticket: 513-421-3555.
Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.
OK, so it's Memorial Day weekend, and theater-going might not be what you have in mind. How about this? If you're heading downtown for the feeding frenzy at Taste of Cincinnati (and what true Cincinnatian isn't?), you can take a quick side trip to Jackson Street in Over-the-Rhine to pick up some tickets or a pass for the eighth annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival. It's the perfect time to find your way to Know Theatre (1120 Jackson, right next to the Gateway Garage), which is Fringe headquarters.
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company continues its summer tradition of Shakespeare in the Park as the free series returns for the seventh year this August. Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream will be showcased in parks around the Greater Cincinnati area and Northern Kentucky Aug. 3-30.

While the fantastic story of betrayal and magic in A Midsummer Night's Dream is being directed by CSC Education Associate Miranda McGee. Six actors from the CSC Resident Ensemble will be acting in these performances. After the free park tour, they will continue to tour community centers, schools, venues and other performance centers into May of 2014.
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is continuing its partnership with Cincinnati Parks and Recreation, offering free shows at Seasongood Pavilion in Eden Park, Burnet Woods, Mt. Echo Park and the new Smale Riverfront Park.

I spent two-and-a-half hours watching the Acclaim Awards last night — 150 minutes with no intermission. Thanks to affable hosts Charlie Clarke and Mark Hardy (the well-dressed "scoundrels" of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels last September at The Carnegie), there was a lot of humor, but I put an emphasis on "a lot" as in "maybe too much."
As I've written previously, the Acclaims offer some solid recognition of many of the things that constitute our local theater scene. But the awards program itself lacks discipline: If this had been a stage production at one of our local theaters, I wouldn't be the only critic saying, "Nice work, but it needs a lot of trimming." And some thoughtfulness.

Three strangers find themselves in a room.
Why are they there?
Why are they there together?
These questions drive the mystery and tension of this tight, fast paced drama which twists and turns from the apparently real to the definitely surreal.
The room in question, in Downstage Theatre, is being used as a theatre space for the first time!
"I wrote the play specifically for the space. I like a challenge!" says writer/director Sarah Delahunty, who in 2012 won the National Playwriting for the Young Competition for the second time.
Two of the young cast have already some international acting experience. Both Neenah Dekkers-Reihana and Robbie Nicol were selected to perform onstage at the Globe Theatre in London as part of the SGCNZ Young Shakespeare Company.
Neenah has also been recently see in Tigers of Wrath at Circa.
1st Gear Productions has brought several other successful productions to the Fringe – 2b or nt 2b (Pick of Fringe 2008), Medea Songs (2010) and Crazy Joint Love (2011).

Lander University student and faculty musical ensembles will pool their talents and present a collage concert on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 8 p.m., in the Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center Auditorium. The concert, called Musiktoberfest, is billed as an evening of music by German composers. Performers will be members of Lander's Wind and Jazz ensembles, a piano duo; the faculty Brass and Woodwind quintets; Student Brass; the Old Main Singers and the University Singers. Dr. Robert Gardiner, associate professor of music at Lander and a saxophonist in the Jazz Ensemble, is one of the concert organizers. He said it will be "one seamless performance," and explained that all of the musical groups will be on the darkened stage at the same time with the spotlight trained on individuals and ensembles as they perform. The program will proceed from one selection to the next without applause in between. He described the concert as offering a contrast in styles of music ranging from Ave Maria, by Franz Biebel, to compositions by Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Wagner, Johann Strauss, and others. Gardiner said the Jazz Ensemble will perform two popular standards written by Kurt Weill: Mack the Knife, from his most well-known work, The Threepenny Opera, and September Song, which Weill wrote for the 1938 Broadway musical Knickerbocker Holiday. The collage concert is free and open to the public.

5 Days, 5 Nights, 3,000 Miles, and 10 Hours of Sleep—but Who's Counting?
Contestants in the Great Texas Birding Classic face off in fierce competition. The real winners, though, are the birds themselves.
The group headed toward the El Rio RV park, a trailer camp that bills itself as a birder's paradise. Another team rumbled by, throwing up a cloud of dust. The Zeiss squad scanned the chaparral. Something fluttered from the brush--a fist-size bird, mostly gray, with a black tail and the matching spring-plumage cap--and Kosciuch shouted, "Gnatcatcher! Gnatcatcher!"
"Play of the day," screamed Marx. High fives all around.
Day 3: Port Aransas Nick Block and the WildBirders were considering a gamble.
To win a birding race, you need more than speed. You need to scout, learning where the local birds are, and to network, gathering intelligence about conditions along the coast. You need to bird with people who work well together. And you need to plan your route carefully.
Or, just maybe, you need to risk it all.
The year before, Block had been on the winning team with another young birder, 22-year-old Cameron Cox. The two had planned to join forces again, but Cox moved, and when Block couldn't find him, he was forced to form a new squad. (Cox later resurfaced on another team, Birds Galore!) Block's first enlistee was a 19-year-old freshman at the University of Texas, Graham Gips. He had competed in birding events before (that was good). His dad was willing to lend his Ford Explorer (that was better).
Until a week before the event, neither 17-year-old Christian Nunes, a high school student from Rhode Island, nor 19-year-old Matt Hafner, a University of Maryland student, had met Block in person or, for that matter, even been to Texas. They had grown acquainted through the online Teen BirdChat listserv. Block had chosen the pair for his team carefully. He was certain they brought skills he and Gips lacked; many of the migrant birds that touched the Texas coast were native to Nunes's and Hafner's home areas.
The team's primary strategy was to use its youth to the fullest advantage. No WildBirder ever slept more than four to five hours straight during the entire event; only two nights were spent in motels. When Gips returned his father's Ford, it had nearly 3,300 new miles on it. The WildBirders put their driving time to good use, scouting dozens of nesting species and then using the nights to spot them. That left the daytime open for a bet-the-house tactic.
The WildBirders debated their day-three plans right up until the final moments. The Classic has always allowed competitors to extend their hunt into the Gulf of Mexico, but no team had ever actually tried it. It was too risky; it could cost nearly an entire day. Block estimated that a water trip could net up to four extra birds--or it could yield nothing. The WildBirders decided that if they did well the first two days and could find a boat in Port Aransas that would return to land by 4:00 p.m.--giving them a good part of the evening to keep birding--they might hazard it.
At 7:00 that morning, the teammates joined 20 other passengers, all fishermen, and steamed out into the Gulf. The adventure hadn't gone off in total secrecy, however. They had been spotted on the dock, and by afternoon the news was out. The consensus was that Block's team had made a mistake. "To me,"Brandes recalls, "they'd seriously compromised their chances. I didn't see how a trip like that could be productive."
When the WildBirders returned at 3:30 that afternoon, they didn't say a word.
Day 4: High Island Bird Sanctuary The contest's only all-woman squad--sisters Cecilia Riley, executive director of the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, and Joan Holt, a marine biologist at the University of Texas, and their friend Jane Kittleman, a retiree from the town of McAllen--had competed in every Birding Classic since the inaugural event in 1997. Their best finish, third place, had come in 2001, and they had entered this year as Team Realtree Roadrunners. Realtree, a maker of camouflage clothing, had also attired them, making them extraordinarily easy to pick out, even in the sanctuary crowds.
The three women maneuvered past the amphitheater bleachers surrounding Purkey's Pond (rest rooms and souvenirs to the right; yellow warblers and rose-breasted grosbeaks straight ahead) to a jasmine-scented area that's known as the Cathedral. Here, among the branches of a willow tree, they identified a Tennessee warbler by the preponderance of green on its back. This migrant, which had eluded the team earlier, was a good catch.
Moving on to High Island's largest open area, the Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary, they joined a steady stream of visitors making their way down a dirt trail. Just around the bend, they found thousands of herons, cormorants, egrets, and roseate spoonbills covering a tiny island at the center of a pond, obscuring trees, water, even sky. The island seemed almost like one undulating bird, or a spattered paint spill, as the deep blacks and whites of the herons and egrets merged with the luscious pinks of the spoonbills. The rookery was humming; the combined calls of thousands of birds seemed to blend into a nearly seamless mega-sound, harmonic and dissonant at once, broken only by a stray coo or squawk from a hungry hatchling.
The assembled birders--dozens of them--were stunned, awestruck. For every adult bird, there seemed to be a half-dozen offspring, bobbing in and out of nests. For a moment, the contest was forgotten. Then a voice bellowed: "Hey! There's an anhinga over there!"
All day Riley, Holt, and Kittleman had been smarting over an earlier missed opportunity to bag this gawky marsh bird. Now they clattered across the boardwalk and spotted it just above glassy Smith Pond; the three-foot anhinga, with its long, snakelike neck, hung for a moment, then alit on a stump, assuming its classic hood-ornament posture, wings spread for drying.

The Bulldogs opened up a 9-2 lead with 2:50 remaining in the first quarter before Springville coach Jeff Smith called a timeout. It was 9-4 after the first quarter.
Ashville opened the second stanza on a 7-0 to open up a 16-4 lead, and was ahead 23-7 at intermission.
By the end of the third quarter, Ashville's lead was 32-13, and they went on to win the game 45-24.
Alex Looney led the way for Ashville with 14 points. E.J. Moss netted eight points while Ray Harris scored seven points. Marcellus Brown chipped in five points while William Johnson netted four points. Parker Wadsworth totaled three points while Jordan Looney and Ethan Fuller had two points each.
Leading Springville was Jason Swope with 12 points. Jalane Ramsey netted five points.
Ashville 71, Ragland 61
In what could be a preview of a county title championship game, Ashville held off Ragland Monday 71-61.
The Purple Devils were down by as much as 20 points in the first half only to fight back and take a four-point lead late in the game.
That's when Ashville knocked down three treys in a row, and didn't look back.
Both coaches agreed it was one of the better games of the season.
"I felt both teams played very well," Ragland coach Andy Eden said. "It was one of the better games I have coached in, and the atmosphere was great."
Ashville coach Anthony Rice said it was a very exciting contest.
"It was a great game for the fans," Rice said. "They were into it. The game went back and forth, and we finally held on when we hit those 3-pointers down the stretch."
The Bulldogs were up 18-8 after the first quarter and ahead 41-29 at halftime.
By the time the third quarter ended, Ragland had cut into the Bulldog lead to make it 51-46 headed into the fourth quarter.
Ragland took the lead late, until Harris nailed two treys and Jacob Bothwell hit another one. Ashville made its free throws down the stretch and held on to win 71-61.
Leading the Bulldogs was Jacob Bothwell with 26 points. Brown pumped in 16 points while Harris and Alex Looney scored 10 points each. Fuller finished the game with seven points while Wadsworth had two points.
"It was just a great shooting night by both teams," Rice said. "We hit nine 3-pointers, and shot 45 percent from the field. It has been a long time since we started the season 9-1. We are playing well, and I have four kids out."
Leading Ragland was Jimmy Brock with 22 points. Cody Jones pumped in 13 points and led the team in rebounds with eight. KiJana Lindsay scored 12 points while Jacob Brewster totaled six points. Trez Carson, Devane Brewster and Sawyer Merritt all had two points each.
"I was very proud of our effort," Eden said. "Our defense enabled us to fight back and take the lead in the fourth quarter. In the end, Ashville made the shots that counted, and enabled them to win."
With the loss, Ragland slipped to 6-3 overall.

Neighborhoods: Factoria
I bought a lifetime oil change service from Midas in Factoria, and then they changed ownership. The next time I brought my car in, they said they would not honor my lifetime change because it was done under the previous owners.
Then when I called back later to speak with management about it, they had blocked my number. I will never bring my car over there ever again. Obviously, they don't want my business anyway.
Thank you Midas for all your help on my vehicle. I came in with a extremely high idling problem. So test drove my car and scanned it they didn't find a problem but they decided to try and clean out the throttle body area just in case it was sticking and sent me on my way. Well all I can say is I haven't had a problem since. I would really recommend them to anyone and my family. Thank You :-)
MANAGER DAN IS: RUDE, CRUDE,SELF CENTERED – Where should I begin: This Midas has the worst Manager ever. He is rude, could care a less about what the situation is how you came in the store for service. Not only does he (Dan) try to add on things to bump up the bill that didn't need to be done but then proceeds to call me an idiot and I don't know anything about cars or I would not be there in the first place. And I am wasting his time and shop space with my car. Well unknown to him and he ego I happen to own a retail chain and was looking for a business in which I could bring in my work cars. I was going to see how this went so I could bring them all in to have major work done on them all. So Manager "Dan" you have just lost one hell of a Huge account and not only will I blog this to all my friends and family I will also see to it that NONE of my 125 employes EVER come into this MIDAS EVER. P.S>you don't deserve the one star .
I could write a book... – I found this place in Sept 2009 right after moving here. I was sold a bill of goods and a maintenance plan.
Some repairs made to my brakes were not only poorly done - the guy left metal bits in the brakes which got jammed in the mechanism, doing more damage. I was ready to nuke their reputation. A month later I saw a "new management" sign and decided to swing in for an oil change (and chat with the new manager). The new owner was in the shop and we talked for a long time. I heard the whole story about the previous owner's IRS and legal problems and money owed to Midas, among others. He said he couldn't refund my oil-change and maintenance plan - but offered me 3 free oil changes (plus the one I was in for).
Since then I had a transmission problem on my other car - I took it in and the manager showed me the dirty fluid and said she didn't feel comfortable flushing the transmission. She recommended a great shop across town - who were able to diagnose the problem that was burning the fluid. Now - they could have easily just flushed it - and then charged me a month later for a transmission. But they didn't.
Last month my wife's van's check engine light came on. We brought it to them and they found a few deferred maintenance items (which we knew about) and diagnosed a timing belt issue - good thing... cause the belt was about to go. They fixed it (and the 5-6 deferred maintenance items) for under $1300 (other quotes were for up to $2500). The engine idled rough afterward - and they fixed that for free.
My car needed a 120k mile service last month. I had them do the work without hesitation - and the car hasn't run better.
Some folks on here have been posting what bad service they offer. I have yet to have them do anything badly - and when they do make a mistake... they fix it right away and with no charge. The owner even called me on a Saturday afternoon, a week after the service work was done, just to ask what I thought of the 120k mile service and invited me to bring the car in if I had any issues. Even the dealer didn't do that when the vehicle was under warranty.
People make mistakes. These guys know what they're doing, and they're committed to running a better ship than the last owner. Give 'em a chance and let them impress you like they did me.
Do not go here... – My wife bought a pre-payed plan for oil changes and tune-ups from these guys and I don't think they actually ever die any work.
We were driving to Portland several weeks ago and the engine suddenly seized up and froze. I couldn't even pull the dipstick out.
We had to replace the entire engine for several thousand dollars. There was no oil leak and the coolant was all there.
Bottom line ...if these guys were doing the regular maintenance this could not happen.
absolute morons – worst decision you are trying to take care of your car, not damaging it. failed to detect any defects and denied any responsibility. not sure why they're still in business.
New (and Original) owner – I brought my car in for some electrical work earlier this week, and got a prompt fix and a fair price.
This Midas frianchise is under new ownership as of 10/1/09. The company removed the prior franchisee for cause - like the reviews below, and brought back the original owner who had built the franchise and run it up until 2002.
I've used this shop quite a bit over the past few years, generally with good results, including on some very tough-to-diagnose problems. But not everyone did as well with them.
Let's see how the new owner does, and let us know about it here - good or bad.
Put my safety at risk - stay far away! – I took my car in because of squeaking brakes and was told I needed new pads and new brakes. I had everything replaced and assumed I was good to go. I was recently in the process of selling the car when a third party inspection told me that the job was not done properly and that they should not buy the car until all items were fixed. I'm not as well versed in "car speak" but I know when something is cut and/or leaking after a break job, it's not a good thing. I can't believe I've been driving around in a car with brakes that weren't fixed properly... it's a very scary feeling. I too will be escalating the problem if I don't get resolution from Midas. Although I'm not thrilled at the idea of having them "fix it" again if that's what they suggest. I wish I had just gone to the dealer or someplace with a better review. I've learned a good lesson.
avg shop – we would greatly appreciate it if they were to have loaner car's
it sometime's take's a day or 2 to have my car fixed it's a 5 year old mercedes and part's are hard to get
they are allway's nice I just don't like being without a car
good service,respectful – I felt they were fast ,and nice and when I showed the bill to my dad he said the charges were average.
I have not had any problem's with my brake's and they waited for me after hour's so I could pick up my acura
the service was really good and everyone was nice.

From Adrenaline to 'Issues That Matter'
TELLURIDE – Mountainfilm always presents a filmic mix: of pure-sports adrenaline and crucial issues, from stunning beauty to social responsibility.
This year, the festival's 35th, is no different. In fact, Festival Director David Holbrooke describes this year's line up as "extraordinarily diverse and high quality.
"Our films are really strong this year across the board," he said. "Whether they are climbing, environmental or just general interest films, we have been struck by how well-made they are. While there are always lots of compelling subjects for us to choose from, it's very unusual to see such consistent high quality up and down the playlist."
At the heart of Mountainfilm's mission, and reflected clearly throughout the final list of some 90 films, are "issues that matter," films that take, in the words of festival Executive Director Peter Kenworthy, "a penetrating look at critical contemporary matters."
"For instance," Holbrooke said, "there is a strong group of films about the environment, particularly about how we get our energy (including Gasland II and Uranium Drive-in). Then, we have three films that look at combat, in Dirty Wars, Manhunt and Which Way is the Front Line from Here? Together they are a commentary on America's perpetual state of war."
Dirty Wars is a disturbing story about American military might gone bad that weaves together the tragic effects of a drone strike intended for a cabal of terrorists that instead hits a Yemeni wedding party.
Manhunt tells of the CIA's tracking of Osama bin Laden for over a decade prior to 9/11 and the painful mix of ignorance and incompetence that left that intelligence largely unheeded.
Which Way is the Front Line from Here? is author Sebastian Yunger's tribute to fellow journalist, photographer and activist Tim Hetherington, who was killed covering the Libyan civil war.
On the sport and adventure side of the ledger, this year's festival is loaded with beauties.
Black-and-white filming is used to its most exquisite effect in two shorts about skiing (The Black Line) and the freedom that comes with leaving the bounds of earth – on skis, snowboards, bikes or kayaks (Joy of Air).
Maidentrip tells the enchanting story of a 14-year-old Dutch girl who insists on sailing solo around the world, in spite of her country's attempts to stop her.
Genius film editor, and master of super slow motion Anson Fogel returns to Telluride with a mesmerizing, over-the-falls kayak adventure in a steaming Mexican jungle (Cascada).
At the other end of the world, two irrepressible young Norwegians set out to survive a full year on their own in a remote cove in this gorgeous video journal of surfing (and garbage cleanup) north of the Arctic Circle (North of the Sun).
Director Holbrooke offered the following further examples of this year's powerful and varied line up:
The Crash Reel – An unflinching film by Oscar-nominated director Lucy Walker that chronicles the traumatic brain injury suffered by Olympics-bound snowboarder Kevin Pearce and his arduous road to recovery. This project was helped along by a 2012 Mountainfilm Commitment Grant.
Gasland II – Director Josh Fox takes us all around the world to show what is happening to the landscapes that are being fracked for natural gas. And he introduces us to the people – many of them reluctant environmentalists – who are organizing and fighting against fracking.
God Loves Uganda – After introducing Music by Prudence to Mountainfilm in 2009, Director Roger Ross Williams returns with a different look at Africa – virulent anti-gay legislation in Uganda that is systemically supported by American Christian missionaries.
High and Hallowed – a World Premier. In May of 1963, a team of brave Americans assembled on Mt. Everest in an effort to be the first from the U.S. to stand atop the world's tallest mountain. This is primarily the story of those first Americans on Everest 50 years ago, but it also incorporates a modern-day attempt on the West Ridge in 2012.
Life According to Sam – Sixteen year-old Sam Berns is older than his years because he has progeria, a rare disease that ages the heart rapidly and kills most by age 13. Despite the challenges, he doesn't stop trying to live the life of a normal teenager and, in the process, achieves extraordinary success.
Lunarcy! – This film follows several characters who have gone completely bonkers for the moon: Alan Bean is one of the 12 men who have walked on the moon and is now creating moon art; Dennis Hope discovered a loophole in the 1967 U.N. Outer Space Treaty that would seem to allow individual ownership of extra-terrestrial bodies; and, Christopher Carson aims to be the first citizen of a colonized moon.
Pandora's Promise – A film that questions much of what we accept as fact about the negative side of nuclear as an alternative to fossil fuels. Surprising, given that the director's first film was an anti-nuclear weapons documentary called Radio Bikini, nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary in 1988.
Rising from Ashes – In a year when cycling has suffered with the disgrace of Lance Armstrong, it's a relief to see racers who recognize that it's not all about the bike. This film relates the remarkable story of the Rwandan race team, cyclists who are pedaling away from the horror of genocide.
Uranium Drive-In – World Premier. Another Mountainfilm Commitment Grant recipient, Suzan Beraza follows up her Bag It triumph with this look at a nuclear conundrum just 50 miles from Telluride in the economically depressed West End of Montrose and San Miguel counties.
The complete program is available online at: mountainfilm.org.

Gas prices have risen 33 days straight for a steep 40-cent jump in the past month.
It's too steep for Sylvia Wallace.
"Isn't that ludicrous? Absolutely inexcusable behavior," she said while watching the numbers on the pump roll. "It's way too doggone much money. This is Texas. How are we supposed to get our groceries (when gas is) at $3.99?"
She was putting $3.99 diesel in her farm truck.
Prices varied significantly around the area Tuesday. Some of the highest was $3.79 on I-10 East at the FM 1518 exit.
The average for regular was $3.52 Tuesday, up 16 cents in the past week and up 40 cents in the past month.
Arrington Bonds was putting her last $6 into her gas tank.
"It's crazy, man," she said. "Gas is $3.55. That's not going to get me nothing, but we're going to try."
$6 got her 1.6 gallons of gas.
Prices typically surge as refineries switch to summer blends. While many consumers are puzzled about the fast and steep rise, industry analysts say higher crude prices, increased global consumption and market speculation are all factors.
For drivers filling up, it's become a game of "guess how much my fill-up will cost."
"Probably get close to $90," said Chris Gardner as he was fueling his company pickup.
He was low. The pump cut off at $100.

This is a recent problem, and I didnt do anything to my Macbook nor my iPhone, other than upgrading to 1.1.2 firmware.
In iTunes, I can set the music, videos etc for sync, but when I go to Photos, it takes a few seconds until it brings up the screen, then it shows no albums, only the Last 12 month, and most recent, and they are all empty. When I open my iPhoto, I can see all my albums, some 20 of them and they have plenty of photos inside.
What can I do to make iTunes see my current iPhoto library? At some time, I had the library on my local Macbook, then on the server, then again locally, and now on the server yet again. I never had this problem except now.
Thanks for any suggestions,
What does my iPhone worth without a picture to show it off with the 2 finger zooming.....
